This year\u2019s kaupapa &#8211; Toit\u016b te Reo &#8211; Titiro Whakaroto &#8211; reminded us that our reo, our stories, our soundscapes endure and evolve through music.<\/p><p>We were especially honoured to have two of our Haumanu Collective wh\u0101nau in attendance: kaikaranga of taonga p\u016boro Horomona Horo (Ng\u0101puhi, Ng\u0101ti Porou, Taranaki) and researcher-practitioner Libby Gray (Ng\u0101ti R\u0113hia, Ng\u0101ti Uep\u014dhatu, Tama \u016apoko ki te Awa o Wanganui &amp; Ng\u0101ti T\u016bwharetoa).<\/p><p>Their presence at this gathering of M\u0101ori composers, musicians and cultural custodians marks a powerful step for Haumanu\u2019s mission: to champion the resurgence of t\u0101onga p\u016boro, to nurture M\u0101ori sound-art, and to strengthen the kaiwaiata, kaihanga and rangatahi who will carry that legacy forward.<\/p><p>Horomona\u2019s mastery of p\u016boro and his global collaborations position him as a beacon of how indigenous instruments can speak into today\u2019s music scene. Libby\u2019s research and work with taonga p\u016boro as rongo\u0101 (healing) reflect the deeper resonance of our kaupapa: that music is relational, musical, cultural, and has the power to transform.<\/p><p>As we reflect on this evening we capture more than photos: we capture connection-making, ideas in motion, possibilities of alliance between taonga p\u016boro and popular M\u0101ori music, between the wh\u0101nau of M\u0101ori music and the wh\u0101nau of M\u0101ori sound-art.<\/p><p>The night also reinforced that for M\u0101ori music to thrive, our frameworks must embrace both cultural wisdom and creative innovation. Haumanu stands ready to contribute: through workshops, taonga-p\u016boro w\u0101nanga, digital storytelling, and pathways into music composition where M\u0101ori instruments and M\u0101ori voices chart new territories.<\/p><p>We move ahead with joyful intent, strengthened by what was celebrated, inspired by what lies ahead.
